Update July 2022

A PAEDOPHILE paramedic and ex-RAF serviceman caught with nearly 10,000 child abuse images hid his dark past from his new girlfriend.

Jago Lee, 38, was caught out by Gwent Police after he failed to tell them he was staying overnight at his partners address.

He was ordered to register as a sex offender for 10 years following his conviction for making indecent images of children and possession of extreme pornography.

The defendant had been handed an 18-month suspended prison sentence at Truro Crown Court for these offences in March 2021.

Lee had left his home in Cornwall and settled in the Gwent area.

A paramedic and ex-RAF serviceman has avoided prison despite being caught with nearly 10,000 sick child abuse images. Lee Lewitt, 37, had material showing the rape of infants as young as 12 months old and humans having sex with animals.

Lewitt, of Summercourt, appeared at Truro Crown Court where he admitted three charges of possession indecent images of children and possession 10 extreme pornographic images.

Prosecuting the case, Michael Brown described how intelligence was gained regarding Lewitts use of a cloud storage device to store indecent images.

Police searched Lewitts home and seized a number of devices. An interrogation of an iPhone showed a huge number of indecent images, both still and moving, some of the images showing children as young as 12 months old being abused. They were amassed between November 2018 and May 2020.

In total Lewitt was found to have 2,721 Category A images, 1,456 Category B, 3,529 Category C and 10 extreme pornographic images showing humans having sex with animals.

In his first interview Lewitt said he was addicted to adult pornography and must have accessed the indecent images by mistake. However, in his second interview he made full admissions.

Representing Lewitt, Chris Spencer told the court how he works as a paramedic and was formerly in the RAF, completing three tours of Iraq. Mr Spencer added Lewitts experiences left him receiving treatment for post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and that he accepts his career is now finished.

Sentencing dad-of-three Lewitt, Judge Simon Carr said he had downloaded a significant number of child abuse images.

Judge Carr said: I appreciate you are an intelligent man so you should be able to appreciate the enormity of what youve done.

Let me spell it out for you. Every day tens of thousands of children are raped for the enjoyment of people like you. The people raping the children dont do it because of a sexual interest, they do it because its a business.

Many hold people like you just as responsible, I certainly do.

Judge Carr went on to state that Lewitts good character, the fact hes showed remorse and sought treatment since his offending and realistic chance of rehabilitation meant he could suspend what would otherwise be an immediate custodial sentence.

Lewitt was given an 18-month sentence suspended for two years. He must also complete relevant treatment programme and 100 hours of unpaid work. Lewitt was made subject of a sexual harm prevention order.
